We are delighted to announce that we have achieved a GOOD across all areas in our recent OFSTED Inspection that took place between the 12th - 16th July 2021.
OFSTED SAID
“The agency is child centred, placing children at the centre of all elements of practice”
“Children have strong, positive relationships with their carers”
“Foster carers receive good levels of support from the manager, who, alongside the qualified and experienced supervising social workers, ensures that the child centred ethos of the service is central to the decision making process. The responsible individual maintains a high profile in the agency and is accessible to staff foster carers and children. Carers say this makes the agency feel like a family unit’, which they say is the great strength of the agency.”
“The support provided by the agency to the children and their foster carers, and to the placing social workers, is seen as a strength by placing social workers.”
FOSTER CARERS SAID
“Foster carers say the great strength of the agency is the support they receive.”
